But re-reading the stories many years later made me realise how little actually happens at times and it almost became a bit repetitive. In the original comics, there were times when I looked forward to Rogue more than Judge Dredd and Strontium Dog.
A very good, science-fiction, post-apocalypse read.moreĬovering the stories ranging from Progs 318 to 406, we see the resolution of Rogue's hunt for the traitor and the beginning of a new adventure. This then leads to a new plot, a new quest, and we end the volume with our team headed in a new direction. There is a climax and culmination to Rogue's current situation in this volume which is very exciting and satisfying. Rogue's character develops, no matter what his buddies' opinion, in the end, Rogue cannot kill for the sake of it and takes innocence into account. But there are some two or three episode stories where he does stop, or is stopped, to help for the greater good. He doesn't stop for the heck of it to help out just because any more his mission is too vital now. There is a bit of humour still present but Rogue is much darker now than in earlier stories. Gone from volume one is the light-hearted one-off episodes. Rogue and his buddies: Helm, Gunnar & Bagman continue to wander across Nu Earth in search of the Traitor who was responsible for the death of the entire battalion of GI's, leaving Rogue Trooper as the single survivor. The issues they were originally released in are almost entirely back-to-back, making a fairly continuous storyline. There is a decidedly deeper plotting involved with the stories presented in this collection.

One of the finest characters to come from 2000 AD, Rogue Trooper is at his best throughout this volume. Brilliant!
